Stock Photo - 10 November 2020, Saxony, Leipzig: For his unusual programs in the ""Original Rupperts Mouse Circus"" Gerald Ruppert practices little tricks with the house mice ""Beautiful Angela"" and ""Heidi"" (l-r) every day. Since no performances are currently possible due to the Corona pandemic and his mice do not become lazy, Ruppert, who also acts as a clown, is training a new circus act with his animals. The trained painter and building cleaner has the only mouse circus in Germany according to his own information. For 44 years he has been showing and commenting on his animal performances in clinics, children's institutions, schools, at folk festivals or even weddings.
